Her efforts were bolstered by donations from local businesses and the Silverstream Lions club which agreed to match ticket sales.
The Upper Hutt Cossie Club also presented Brianna with a cheque for $5288.44 after it approved a grant to Diabetes Youth Wellington.
“It was so good, I cried a lot,” she said
Brianna was eager to support the charity after attending their camps alongside other young type 1 diabetics.
The grant will give the 54 children and teens attending next year’s camp a Freestyle Libre sensor to wear for the duration of the camp.
The device allows users to measure blood sugar levels by scanning the sensor with a phone or reader instead of pricking their fingers and bleeding onto a test strip.
